Special Moments From The 2015 New York Baby Show

From the moment that “Weekend TODAY” anchors Erica Hill and Sheinelle Jones cut the ribbon at the 2015 New York Baby Show, on May 16 at Pier 92, the tide of education, energy, and family fun and bonding was non-stop. From tips and tricks from presenting sponsor Canon on capturing baby’s magic moments, to inspiring seminars with speakers like Nancy Redd of HuffPost Live, to the Baby Show’s famous stroller test track, to the calming oases of the Moms’ and Dads’ Lounges, the Baby Show was a wonderland of enjoyable activities and resources for new and expectant parents and their bumps, babies, and toddlers.
